Polymer Emulsion Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2015-2025

Emulsion can be well-defined as the process of mixing of two liquids with difference in their densities (oil-water).Polymer emulsion is done by the process of emulsion polymerization in which the emulsification of a monomer is done in the presence of water and a surfactant, especially sodium stearate. The most common monomers used in the process of emulsion polymerization are styrene, acrylonitrile, butadiene, acrylate ester and methacrylate ester. Polymer emulsions are the specialty polymers which are used in the manufacturing of specialty chemicals such as adhesives, paints and coatings, offset inks, paper & paperboards, textiles, and construction chemicals. Polymer emulsion production process is an environmental friendly process which produces polymers with high molecular weight and very lean volatile organic compounds. Polyvinyl acetate based polymer emulsion products have a significant impact on the industries such as adhesives, paints and coatings.

Global Polymer Emulsion Market: Drivers & Restraints
